Mitochondria Gallery present "Gifts of the Soil," a group exhibition that brings together works by Shara Mays, Victor Olaoye, John Reno Jackson, Madjeen Isaac, Nedia Were, Izere Antoine, Laju Sholola, and Nathalie Djakou Kassi.

"Gifts of the Soil" explores how local ecosystems shape both personal consciousness and collective cultural identity. By emphasizing the deep ties between land and lived experience, the exhibition highlights the environmental roots of memory, belonging, and place.

Featuring a range of paintings and sculptures, the show brings together artists whose practices are informed by heritage, adaptation, and cultural transmission. Here, land is not just physical terrain but a generative force that informs identity and community.The soil emerges as both material and metaphor, origin and archive, offering a site for ancestral knowledge and evolving cultural expression.

"Gifts of the Soil" invites reflection on the environment as a living repository of meaning, and positions artistic practice as a form of ecological and cultural inquiry.

The exhibition will remain on display through August 16.
